re: Has your mind changed about this year?

Honestly yes and no. I thought around 8-4 I think the same.

I see us beating one of the three toughest in Ole Miss, Georgia, and LSU. Probably lose the other two.

As for the other games, we should beat Missouri, USCe, Vandy, and FAU. But don't be surprised if we drop one. We aren't good enough to expect to beat anyone there but FAU(Vandy is getting better, fair warning on it). So while we should win all of these on paper(FSU being even), we probably drop one. Our LB depth is dropping quickly, we've luckily had no line injuries but if they happen we are in very big trouble. Add in this team is young. Winning games isn't easy especially when most of your schedule has bowl quality teams.

So I'll stick with 8-4 and hope for better but not expect it. I'm happy with what we've seen so far(outside of a few issues with play calling and our wtf tackling efforts so far).
